If your shed isn’t too big and heavy (small sheds such as the Addition Bike Storage units), moving it is reasonably easy assuming the ground is reasonably flat. You could even manage to do this on your own but its always nice to have some help - and as they say - two heads are better then one!
Step by step instructions for moving a Metal Shed installed in your garden.
You will need: 2 pieces of Plywood – wider than the unit by around 100mm (6mm thickness Plywood will be fine).
1: Gently, lift the far end (the direction you want to go) and slide the plywood under the shed by a couple of inches.
2: Go back to the other end and push – The unit will simply slide over the plywood (almost) effortlessly – push the unit until just short of the end of this 1st piece of plywood, then stop.
3: Place the next piece of plywood next to this then continue to push the unit. The unit should slide over onto the next piece of Plywood – Repeat as many times as necessary.
The unit will slide along the ground with minimal effort. In the case of the bigger units we would recommend you at least part dismantle the unit before attempting such a move and not to tackle the big units on your own.
And there you have it. If you are attempting this, I think it goes without saying to make sure the unit is empty and there is nothing stored inside it. Also, make sure your concrete base at the new location is prepared and ready for the unit.
